Gerard's p.o.v.

Holy shit. My little brother was going to be a dad before I was was. I couldn't believe how calm Rachel had been. Maybe it wad time for a little chat with him. I walked into his room and found him listening to music, staring stupidly out the window qith a dopey grin on his face. "Hey bro," I greeted him loudly over the music. He looked up at me, smiling, grabbed the volume knob and with a flick of his wrist, turned off. "Hey Gee Gee!" I raised my eyebrows. "Gee Gee? What's gotten YOU so happy?" I questioned. "Welllll," he sang, softly pulling my shoulder length raven hair as he backed away to sit back down on the bed. "I was thinking. A lot. Ya know, about becoming a dad and all. And I started thinking... that... well, maybe that it would be a good thing that has happened.

Ohhhhhhh. This was making a lot more sense now. "Well, good! I'm happy for you. But one big ass obstacle." He looked at me dazed, as if he couldn't think of a single reason why this was a bad idea. "Her parents." He looked slightly crestfallen. "I-I, c'mon Mikes don't you dare tell me you hadn't thought of this before!"

Apparently he hadn't. And oh wonderful. Here comes the waterworks. I was forced to pull the plug on it before any deep emotions came tumbling out.

"Well, I guess, he does like you... but that isn't enough. You got his baby girl pregnant. No father would want to hear that. Looks like you're gonna have to go out to Rachel's house and apologize and explain in person." That came out harsher than I had expected. I guess I had misread Mikey's allergies for tears because he handled it very well. He flopped down on the bed again, pulling a pillow onto his face, exposing some of the pale flesh on his stomach.

He groaned and said "Ack, I know."

I sat down next to him and he flipped on his stomach. I aighed and rubbed his back. I told him, "come on. You have to go talk to her." After sighing, he grabbed my wrist and looked me in the eye. "Can you come with me?" After a moment of silence, I understood. He needed his brother's hand, and it was up to me to be the one to reach for it without hesitation. So I did. "Okay Mikey. Let's go." I whispered.

Driving to Rachel's was difficult. Once Mikey found out that her dad would in fact be there when we arrived,I had to lock the car door because I knew that look in his eyes.

After several meltdowns, four tantrums, and a panic attack, I managed to drag Mikey out of the car and knock on the door.

i was still restraining Mikey when Rachel peeked her head out the door. Mikey instantly stopped struggling and managed a cute smile. Rachel nodded at us and muttered a quiet "come in."

We walked into her living room and Mikey and I both sat down in the only chair in the entire room. The only other seating was the couch, but we were slightly wary of her father.

He looked like he had had an episode only moments before we'd arrived. His face was red and his eyes were pink. His large nostrils were flared and his mouth was drawn into a thin line. His graying hair was messy, as was his button-down shirt.

Oh what fun this evening held for us!

Rachel stood in he middle of the room and spoke. "Okay, first of all. Dad." She turned to her father. "I'm 18. I'm officially an adult. So neither of us are underage and the worst form of punishment I would have to suffer is your disapproval." True dat. "And besides. I really love Mikey." I let out an internal gasp. Omgomgomgomgomg why did he never tell me any of this? If he had, this situation would have been ao much more easy to get out of.

But anywho, Rachel sat right on top of Mikey and clasped their hands together. "Awwwwwwww." I thought quietly. Everyone stared at me. Oh shit I said that out loud. Ignoring this, Rachel's father spoke up.

"I-I live you Rach. You're my baby girl. I can't believe how fast you grew up." He kissed the top of her head and my cute-tolerance was wearing thin. She blushed, and I could tell she was on the verge of happy tears. So was I, and I was forced to fan my eyes. Of course, everyone noticed and laughed their asses off at me. Pouting, I watched everyone exchange goodbyes and I even got to watch Mr. Adam shake Mikey's hand and say quietly "You're a good kid, son. I trust you'll father my grandchild well, and even more importantly, my daughter."

Mikey shook his head earnestly. I smiled all the way home. Mikey and I talked and talked about everything. He had evwn suggested that he proposed to Rachel.

Sqeee! Oh the feels!

But we got home all too soon, and I still hadn't had my daily dose of music. Once mikey was safely transported inside, I turned on the sterio and blared it. I checked my phone. Huh. One missed call from Frank. I dialled his number and waited. I turned off the music once I heard a dreary "Hello?"

"Oh sup Frankie, it's Gerard!" I chirped. He sighed. "Oh Frankie, what's wrong?" I asked. "i-i need to confess something."

Well could you elaborate a touch, Frank?

"Okay, well, know that whatever it is, I love you and we can get through it together." I said confidently. I just heard muffled sobs on the other end, and I began to get worried.

"Gerard. I never forgave you for beating me. What I'm saying is that... we aren't working. I'm breaking up with you."

Then scilence
